CVE-2026-55483: Snipe-IT Vulnerable to Privilege Escalation via Missing admin Permission Check in User Creation

June 23, 2026

The store() method in both the web and API UsersController only strips the superuser permission when a non-superuser creates a user. It does not strip the admin permission. This allows any authenticated user with the users.create permission to create a new user with full admin privileges.

The users.create permission may commonly be delegated to HR staff, department leads, or similar roles.
